Chapter 153 Beauty

"Aunt Zhang, where is Uncle Dan?" Gu Ji led Guo Guo and Tang Tang home from a walk and found Dan Anwen's notebook on the coffee table, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Aunt Zhang poked her head out from the kitchen and said, "It looks like she's swimming in the pool in the backyard."

"Okay, I understand." Gu Ji replied, taking the leashes off Guoguo and Tangtang's necks and patting their heads. "Go play."

Tangtang and Guoguo, having received their release order, ran happily into the kitchen, their eyes pleadingly fixed on the food in Aunt Zhang's pot.

After putting the things back in their original places, Gu Ji walked to the backyard.

As soon as she opened the backyard door, she saw the man swimming in the water. She sat by the pool and watched him quietly for a while.

"Whoosh..."

Gu Ji paused in his act of tilting his head back to drink water, staring intently at the handsome man emerging from the water before him.

The pool was just deep enough to reach the man's lean and powerful waist. His pale, well-defined abdominal and pectoral muscles gleamed warmly in the setting sun. Water droplets slid from his chiseled chin onto his sharp collarbone, and his distinct features exuded a cold, alluring charm.

She's a perfect clothes hanger; she looks slim in clothes but muscular when undressed, and her beauty can be faintly seen underwater.

The moment Dan Anwen surfaced, she felt Gu Ji's burning gaze. She glanced at the infatuated girl sitting on the lounge chair, but when he stood up, her intense gaze almost welded to him.

The man chuckled, his phoenix eyes narrowing as he smiled at Gu Ji, "Little friend, you're back."

Gu Ji absentmindedly hummed in response, still not shifting his gaze back to him, as if he were about to witness the end of time.

Dan An chuckled softly, his head slightly lowered as he stood in the pool and laughed. His clearly defined and powerful muscles trembled with his laughter, which was quite alluring.

Gu Ji only came to her senses after hearing his laughter. Her face turned red slowly, her blushing face as red as the glow of the sunset, and her snow-white skin exuded an alluring aura.

Even though she had seen Uncle Dan shirtless many times, she would still blush and feel shy sometimes.

Dan Anwen lowered his voice, his dark eyes filled with allure, and said slowly, "Little friend, would you like to come down for a swim?"

For Gu Ji, a landlubber who has never swum, this sentence was incredibly tempting.

I didn't swim during my coming-of-age ceremony in Weihai, and later, due to the busy schedule of my senior year of high school, I didn't have the opportunity to swim at the beach.

The swimming pool in the yard is usually used by men; she had never actually tried swimming there before.

"Wait a minute, I'll go upstairs to change into my swimsuit." Gu Ji put the teacup on the table and hurried a few steps toward the villa.

Although she had never swum, the man would buy her a swimsuit every few months.

Looking at the various swimsuits he found in the closet, Gu Ji fell into deep thought.

She had never really paid attention to the styles of swimsuits before. Most of the clothes in the dressing room were picked out for her by Uncle Dan. She would just wear whatever was in the dressing room.

Looking at the old-fashioned and conservative swimsuit, she felt that Uncle Dan was very cunning.

Finally, she picked out a swimsuit that was decent enough, but after changing into it, she felt uncomfortable all over, so she put on a sun-protective shirt before going downstairs.

After Gu Ji left, Dan Anwen swam a few more laps before getting ashore. She sat in the spot where Gu Ji had been and wiped the water droplets off her hair. Two long, straight, beautiful legs came into view.

Her fair skin had firm lines, swaying slightly as she walked. Her rounded toes were adorable, and her neatly arranged toenails were the most beautiful thing in his eyes.

When his gaze shifted upwards, his breath hitched noticeably. He had long known that the child's curves were so alluring they could tempt one to commit a crime, but the sight before him still made his lower body tense.

Fortunately, he has strong self-control; otherwise, he would be lucky to avoid making a fool of himself, let alone teach children to swim.

Looking at her conservative white swimsuit, he felt his blood rush to his head. He had always chosen conservative and simple swimsuits for her, but he never expected them to look so good on her...

Dan Anwen sighed inwardly. It seemed he felt most at ease when the children were fully armed.

Fortunately, she didn't show off her charm on the beach in Weihai, otherwise he would have been extremely jealous.

Dan Anwen casually tossed the towel onto the chair, got up, and walked towards Gu Ji.

"Are you sure you want to learn today?" Dan Anwen suddenly changed his mind, afraid that he would be the one who would suffer the most later.

Gu Ji opened her innocent eyes, her gaze pure and clear, so clear that the man immediately wanted to steal her beauty.

"I'm sure I want to learn, otherwise summer will be over."

Even if the swimming pool can be heated and filled with warm water in winter, she doesn't want to soak in it.

Dan Anwen lowered his eyes and gently rubbed her head. "Then I'll go down first and catch you down there."

"Okay." Gu Ji nodded obediently, feeling that the pool was too deep for her.

Dan Anwen went into the water and raised his hand to protect her. She first tentatively touched the constant temperature water in the pool with her toes, and her slender ankles were gradually submerged in the water.

Finally, with the man's encouraging gaze, he sank down.

As soon as Gu Ji entered the pool, she instinctively jumped onto the man, her two slender, fair arms tightly encircling his neck, her shapely legs hooking around his lean waist underwater.

Dan Anwen's prominent Adam's apple bobbed up and down as the girl made her sudden movement, and his eyes gleamed with the green light of a wolf eyeing its prey.

I could clearly feel the child's smooth skin and warmth against my waist; my heart stopped beating at that moment.

It wasn't until he felt her hands thrashing against his back that he regained a sliver of his senses. He coaxed her gently, his voice hoarse, "Don't be afraid, put your feet down first, I'll support you."

There was obvious fear in Gu Ji's bright eyes; after all, people who can't swim often have an inexplicable fear and unease about water.

Upon seeing this, Dan An had no choice but to carry Gu Ji towards the deeper water, saying as they walked, "Little friend, look into my eyes."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ji looked up at the man, her dark eyes filled with encouragement and a hint of protectiveness.

The man parted his thin lips slightly, his tone carrying an inexplicable sense of reassurance, "The deepest part of the water only reaches my waist, so the pool water won't reach your neck. Why don't you try getting down first?"

Gu Ji was captivated by the man's good looks and nodded in a daze until her feet touched the bottom of the pool wall, bringing her back to her senses.

As the man said, the water only reached her chest, posing no threat to her neck, but it did make her curvaceous figure appear and disappear in the water.

The moment Dan Anwen released Gu Ji, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

No one knows how much effort he had to exert to restrain himself from kissing the alluring but unaware child in front of him.

However, when she looked down at the little girl in front of her chest, her beauty was immediately apparent.

In that instant, Dan Anwen suddenly felt that the swimsuit he bought was not conservative enough. Fortunately, the beautiful scenery of the children was only for him to appreciate.
